The Trade Union movement financially fed by the former Labour government is now threatening to withdraw financial support provided to the Labour Party if the Labour Party elects the Leader that they do not want.
It is short of putting somebody into concrete shoes and throwing the person into a river – one of the classic methods of the Maffia. This sort of blackmail will continue until somebody has the guts to destroy the link between Political Parties and Trade Unions. Political parties should be financed by its members and Trade Unions should support their members without getting involved in party political activities.
The link between Trade Unions and Political Parties transforms the legislation designed to regulate monies invested in political activities into a mockery. I personally asked the Electoral Commision in 2004 about the limits in terms of monies invested in political campaigning. The answers provided showed that legal regulations in this regard are an absolute shambles.
What about UAF? What about UNITE? What about the RMT? What about all the other organizations and inviduals that use charity status, donations and active campaigning to prop up the Labour Party? Are they covered by Electoral Regulations? The Welfare System and the so called legislation for the development of Trade Union were used for political campaigning and to provide funds for the Labour Party. I would call this FRAUD with capital letters. What would you call it?
Treason
Paid for politics – great!
40% of white British USDAW members in Barking and Dagenham voted for the BNP in the last elections.
Good point? perhaps that fact should be put forward more often, if it could be promoted that white British vote BNP, who knows it could lift things, we already promote that labour votes are turning to our party. That works.
